[Verse]
F
Times were good
G Am
She never thought about the future, she just did what she would
G F
Oh but she really cared
G Am
About her music, it all seemed so important then
[Chorus]
D/A
And she dreamed that every time that she performed
G/A A
Everyone would cry for more
D/A
That all she had to do was step into the light
G/A A
And everyone would start to roar
[Verse]
F
And on the road
G Am
Where all but a few fall by the wayside on the grassier verge
F
She battled through
G Am
Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds
[Chorus]
D/A
But now every time that she performed
G/A A
Oh everybody cried for more
D/A
Soon all she had to do was step into the light
G/A A
For everyone to start to roar
[Interlude]
G/A D/A
And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for

[Verse]
F
Oh but time went by
G Am
It wasn't so easy now, all uphill, and not feeling so strong
F
Yes times were hard
G Am
Too much thinking 'bout the future and what people might want
[Chorus]
D/A
And then there was the time that she performed
G/A A
When nobody called for more
D/A
And soon every time she stepped into the light
G/A A
They really let her know the score
D/A
But she dreamed of the times when she sang all her songs
G/A A
And everybody cried for more
D/A
When all she had to do was step into the light
G/A A
For everyone to start to roar
[Interlude]
G/A D/A
And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for
